Critical reception

Jason Elias of AllMusic remarked, "With a hot woman as its muse, "Fancy Dancer" has a sound and arrangement that's the aural equivalent of the woman gyrating on the dancefloor. This track, like most of their pre-1981 funkier tracks, seemed to embody a randy nature, different than the Bar-Keys but just as potent in a relaxed and adventurous way".
Alex Petridis of The Guardian commented, "it's less celebrated than Brick House, but just as funky, in a low-slung way."
